What's new with Cat Johnson

NIGHT WITH A SEAL in Paperback? Yes!

I took the plunge, and took two days to make it happen, but I finally got Night with a SEAL formatted to my satisfaction for print. I was motivated to get it done because I want to take a few copies with me to the Authors After Dark Convention in August in Charlotte, NC (registration is still open for attendees for that, fyi).
The good news is that since the paperback is being sold through
Amazon, my hope is that it will be available for purchase at all of the
international Amazon sites. It’s already up on the US (and eligible for Prime shipping), Germany, Italy , France , Spain, and the UK , so fingers crossed it goes to the other sites as well. It is also available on Createspace .
But WAIT! It’s not out in eBook yet but it’s out in paperback? Yeah,
it is and I’m hanging my head in newbie shame… I was going to release
the Night with a SEAL paperback on July 22nd, the same day that the
eBook will debut in the the Hot Alpha SEALs Megaset (on PREORDER
now for 99 cents). Little did I know, in my inexperience with print,
that when I approved the proof so I could order my copies for AAD, that
would automatically list the paperback for retail sale on Amazon. They
don’t mess around over there so SURPRISE guess what’s available 2 weeks
early. Just in time for vacation season too, in case you need a “real
book” that’s safe for the beach or the pool or the boat where eReaders
fear to tread.
It’s just the paperback that’s up early. The eBook of Night with a SEAL will still be exclusive to the Hot Alpha SEALs
12 novella megaset until late August when I plan to release it as an
individual eBook on all the usual retail sites (IE: BN, Smashwords,
Kobo, ARe, iBooks, and Amazon).
